Hi,
As some know, I'm planning to buy me a LARGE hard drive to put all my

Hope this helps!

Hi there!
When you pause mplayer2 playing any kind of video, does its process also
use 100% of one of your cores? I think this is weird. I'm switching back
to mplayer.

I'm using big WD Caviar Green (WDxxEAxx) SATA HDDs for some years now in

Way back in the stone age, there was a guy that released a curve for
